Hey guys just read it's a small world is going to be closed 1st august to 19th December!  Can anyone confirm this? This is my sons (3 years) first visit and I am gutted! We are going September 10th-13th and looks like blue lagoon is closed too :(

I'm just so gutted for my son as he keeps singing the song, will just have to show him it on YouTube! It's one of the big park staples! I wonder what they are doing to it? It looks in pretty good shape to me? Anyone know? Thanks for posting Lavi this is where I saw it! Does anyone know if there is even a slight chance this changes? Maybe if we do a mass protest?! LOL!

Please no why always change a ride for the worst.
Pirates is great but we all want Jack Spearow in it, while the ride was there before there was the movie.
It's a small world is a classic but we must have the disney characters in it.
Please nooooooooooooooooo just leave it as it is.
Those characters don't even look good they are even worse than those ugly big headed dolls they sell.

Ah no way!  We went in March and it seemed absolutely fine.  I agree it is a classic and really hope they do not change it too much  :o

I don't know, but it could be to just refurb it a little before the 25th anniversary coming up? From what I gather a lot of the main rides will be getting a new lick of paint and a tidy up to make sure they look as perfect as possible?  ??? :-\

That's the most likely explanation for the aggressive schedule they're running now. :)
Get the park tidied up and in the best possible condition for the anniversary year.

I would say that would be most likely. I went at the beginning of May and it could use some touch ups. It wasn't really bad or anything but if they are making an effort to make everything fantastic for the 25th anniversary, that would seem most likely.
